Instructions

  1. In the stand up mixer add the starter, water, oil and salt, mix with the flat spatula, then add 2¾ cups flour (the rest will be added if needed), start to knead with the dough hook for 7 minutes. If the dough is still wet when the kneading is almost done, then with a spatula bring the dough together and if necessary add the remaining flour (¼ cup / 30 grams) one tablespoon at a time and continue kneading. It should be a soft slightly sticky dough. Move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and knead into a ball. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat the dough, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, draft free area for 3-4 hours.
  2. Remove the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and punch it down 4-5 times. Place the dough on a cookie sheet or pizza pan cover with a clean tea towel and let rest for 20 minutes.
  3. Pre-heat oven to 425F (220C). If using a pizza stone then place in oven to pre-heat.
  4. Then form the dough into desired shape, or even two pizzas if you prefer thin crust pizza. Top with your favourite toppings including the cheese and bake for approximately 15-25 minutes or until done. Enjoy!
  5. *You can bake the pizza for about 15-20 minutes then add the cheese and continue to bake for another 3-4 minutes.

Notes

  • I used this sourdough discard pizza dough to make one pizza. The temperature of your home will affect how much the dough rises, though, so if your dough has risen more, you can make one thick crust, or you can divide the dough into two and make two thin crust pizzas. 
  • Yes, after the dough has risen, place in a freezer safe bag and remove as much air as possible. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to use, thaw the discard pizza dough in the refrigerator overnight or for 12 hours. Bring dough to room temperature and proceed with baking instructions.
